Santas Secret Book Trinket Box Ornament Pattern Bead Pattern

Did you know even Santa has secrets, things he likes to hide from the elves! This secret Santa book is made from silver lined red and gold delica beads and on the cover is a delightful Christmas tree in a shaped panel. The spine of the book shows a holly leaf and Santas monogram (it is his book after all!) So what is the secret with Santa’s book? Unlock the bead clasp and open the book to find it is not a book at all – it’s a box!
